The Statutes
Diligently compared and revised to the teaching of Jesus Christ

Jesus taught us saying; Love the Lord thy God with all thy mind, with all thy heart, with all the soul, and with all thy might. And love thy neighbor as thy self, by doing onto others as ye would have them do onto you; for these are the two greatest commandments in which all the others reside.

These are not intended to avoid the Teaching of Jesus on; love and forgiveness. But to shed light on having compassion and to be responsible of one's own actions.

 

Laws concerning relationships;
Exodus 21:1 - 17

Servants:
If a servant came in on their own free will, they shall go out on their own free will with payment. If they came in married, than they shall go out together married. If the Master gave the servant a partner to marry, than they shall go out together married.

Marriage:
Jesus said; from in the beginning a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; and they are no longer two, but of one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder.

Marriage is the ceremony of uniting two people together, but the covenant of marriage is the sexual act which is sanctified by the Lord thy God.

If one man's ox hurt another's, that it die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall divide. Or if it is known that the ox has been accustomed to gore in the past, and its owner has not kept it in, he shall pay ox for ox, and the dead beast shall be his.
